Vin is a Philly boy who shouldn't be invited into your house because he'll judge you on your book and music collection. He owns Dawkins, Utley, Iverson, and Lindros jerseys, which is all you really need to know about him. He can be reached at vin@sportscolumn.com.
It was right there for the taking. Or the shaking, if you will. The Sixers, the fans, the organization — so close to shedding the dead weight of Samuel Dalembert and Andre Iguodala’s contracts — and Ed Stefanski let it get away.
There is no guarantee the deal was in place and that [...]
If you are a hardcore football fan, Super Bowl Sunday creates a dilemma: do you watch the game per your usual routine (either alone or with a small group of knowledgeable football fans) or do you join the hoi polloi for a Super Bowl Party?
If your team is playing in the Super Bowl, you [...]
Are you undecided on whom to root for in the 2009 World Series? Well, I’m here to tell you that the Phillies should be your team — for the next week or so at least.

A semi-wise man once wrote, on this website no less, that it’s always better to write joy. And so while I had every intention of writing about the bewildering circus that has become the Eagles early 2009 season, the Phillies clinching the NL East tonight in convincing fashion has me switching topics. Why ponder the [...]
A couple of weeks ago, while we were broadcasting Poor Man’s PTI, RJ called in and informed me that the Eagles had just signed Michael Vick. Like the rest of football America, I was shocked and dumbfounded. Not because I had any objection to Michael Vick being back in the NFL but because I had [...]
It ain’t easy being a Philly fan these days. I’m a 5 for 5 guy (Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, Flyers, FC Cheesesteaks) but lately, it’s getting harder and harder to root for all the Philadelphia pro teams.
The Flyers continue to tease but disappoint. The Sixers trot out the albatross that is Samuel Dalembert and expect [...]

We’re nine months from first kick and I’ve already got a complaint about the new Philadelphia MLS team. Philadelphia Union? Hell, even a simple FC Philadelphia sounds better. I’d also settle for Philadelphia Athletics or Philadelphia 1776. Unfortunately, the massholes already took Revolution but surely there’s a better name than Union. When I watch [...]

On Monday, Ed Stefanski will have a press conference and introduce Eddie Jordan as the new Sixers head coach. And, as with most things Sixers related, the hiring of Eddie Jordan will be greeted by a collective yawn from Philly sports fans.
It’s not that Eddie Jordan is a bad coach. Unfortunately, he’s not [...]
